The rims are Privat Fahren's They are 18x9 and 22 lbs each, not too bad. The AV unit is by Rosen, and I got a good deal off ebay for $999 new. They run about $1200 elsewhere on the web. The custom install job was $200. Pheonix, the RB springs were surprisingly, the easiest thing I have done. I would say, just barely harder than doing a brake job.

Rx7raca,
The car cost me $17,500. I looked for a long time to find the one I wanted. I actually decided I wanted a Silver or White 94 or 95 Touring/PEP, but when this Black came up with so few miles at such a good price, I jumped on it.

Curious why you are only running a 235/40/18 on a 9 inch wide rim?

They are Yok AVS ES100 tires, so they are reasonably inexpensive, so I wanted to majke sure I have no rubbing before I go bigger. If I get no rubbing, I will go with 245's next time. I wanted it non-staggered so I can rotate them.

I didn't buy the antenna for the TV, so I don't get any reception. I am thinking about hooking up the Diversity for the TV and see if that would work. Would be nice to use what is already there. Anyone radio/tv experts know if this would work? The DVD player has great pic quality. The internal amp on the unit is only OK. But it has preamp outs so you can easily hook up an external amp. The NAV addition isn't available yet. They said Decemeber, but they said Nov before that, so I am not holing my breath. But that is the whole reason I chose this unit, for the integrated NAV. My G35 has NAV and once you have it, you will never own another car without it.
I do have a few gripes about the unit. The AM/FM tuner screen is pretty "vanilla". They could have done a lot more with it. It doesn't have RMS and you can't even name the stations yourself. The CD screen is even worse. They have this huge screen, and all it shows is 1 little line showing the track number and time remaining. I can't beleive that this unit doesn't have CD-Text for over $1000.
The MP3 display is ok, basically a stripped down windows explorer.

That DVD player is AWESOME. Damn you, now thats another 1200 bucks im going to eventually have to spend on my car.

does your dvd player work while your car is in motion. The only reason I ask is becasue yesterday I went to the car audio shop in my area to get a tv placed like you have and they told me it waz aginst the law to have a tv that the driver can see while in motion and his shop wouldn't set it up. The next I look on the forum and I see your car.
